Philippines' Vanishing Island: Crowds by day, disappears at night.

• A "vanishing island" in the Philippines attracts crowds during the day but disappears at night due to tidal changes.
• This natural phenomenon is a large sandbar, approximately 1 km long and 300 meters wide, located between Lilboran and Panglao near Bohol province.
• The island emerges during low tide (8 AM to 3-4 PM) for tourist activities like walking, snorkeling, and dining.
• By 6 PM, high tide submerges the entire sandbar under 3-5 feet of water, making it "vanish" until the next morning.
• Local guides ensure tourists depart by 3:30 PM; it is a popular spot, ranked among the top Philippine tourist destinations for 2025.

Why It Matters: This vanishing Philippine island showcases unique tidal phenomena and growing tourism.
